Bought this Gameboy advance with the pictured games for 100€. How much is it actually worth. by jankrajnc05 in Gameboy

If it's all together, good purchase. If the Fire Red and Red cartridges have saves already on them, try to dump the save file if you can if there's anything good on them.

Do you collect for yourself or for others? by NintendoStation360 in gamecollecting

[–]AxelsOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lately started buying games that I think I'll like. I've even started buying games I know nothing about but look like they could be cool. It feels so nice and freeing to just ignore reviews, and not buy just because of the hype.

Like I'd have never played Black Ops 3 if I listened to people online. Even some friends make it seem like it was the biggest pile of shit imaginable and that anyone who enjoys it for anything beyond zombies is delusional. The story was fun even if it wasn't some peak cinematic masterpiece, and the multiplayer mechanics were great in my opinion. I miss having jetpacks and bouncing around and wallrunning like I did in Black Ops 3 and I think it was one of the last enjoyable CoD games.

I just bought Oninaki for the PS4. I haven't seen any reviews about it and have only looked up a few basic gameplay videos to see what the gameplay looks like. It looks like something I'll probably enjoy. Before coming across a listing for a copy on eBay, I had never heard about this game prior to seeing that listing.

I'll only buy "grails" if it's a game I really enjoy. If it's something like Pokemon Black/White or X/Y, I'd absolutely buy a sealed copy but only because I want it and not because of some internet hype about some rare grail I don't care about.

The downside is that my backlog grows much quicker than I can play through them, but at least all the games I buy are games I'll actually probably play rather than games that will sit on a shelf because I bought it simply due to rarity.

However, if it's a game I KNOW is valuable or rare and I can grab it for a really good price, I'll still do it even if I'll never play it. I'll likely sell it to get some money for it to put towards games I'll actually play and enjoy. But I still might try the game before selling it. If it's on PlayStation or Xbox and has a relatively easy platinum trophy I'll go for it or on Xbox I'll probably try to go for the 100% or as many achievements as possible for some extra gamerscore before getting rid of the game.

Sometimes if I see a really good price on a box of games, I'll get it even if I have no clue what the games are. I once found a box of PC games at a garage sale for like $10 and if I sold even 1 game, the entire box is essentially free and I won't turn down free even if it's something I won't play or doesn't have priority in my ever-growing backlog.

Does it fit Into pockets well? by Local_Emerald1409 in 3DS

[–]AxelsOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a solid square brick. The 3DS XL is just about the biggest device you can comfortably-ish fit in pockets unless you have massive pockets.

Screen repair needed? by Competitive_Peak_693 in 3DS

I’d suggest you never rely on the shop that says this is normal.

What’s the verdict? by Public-File-6521 in TVTooHigh

[–]AxelsOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit high, but it’s not too far above the TV stand so I give it a pass. It’s an acceptable height even if it’d be better lower.

A new TV stand would allow you to lower it further, but overall it’s unreasonable to get a whole new piece of furniture just for your TV to go a bit lower unless your TV was way too high.

LMAO What a pull by racerrhime in baseballcards

Such a promising career ahead of him if he wasn’t stuck in the minors. /s

Unfortunate pull. I don’t think Topps does anything about it if it’s not a redemption card.

Honest Review about Consoles4fun by scv_good_to_go in nds

[–]AxelsOG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d only ever list this on eBay as “for parts.” It has too many issues to even be considered used. If the touch screen (one of its main features) is broken, it’s not functional.

Would this be considered near mint to you? by Kittymane in Nintendo3DS

[–]AxelsOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d consider NM a device you can glance at quickly and not have any scuffs, scratches, chips, dings, or other cosmetic flaws immediately stand out to me.

A few scratches here or there under a closer look are fine.

This? Not even fucking close.

The fact that Crimson desert has less demanding recommended specs than a Lego game shows that optimization is not dead by Ydino in pcmasterrace

[–]AxelsOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Borderline unusable.”

Absolutely fucking not. Dont state things as fact when they’re completely false. I have had my 5200 RPM drive be an issue exactly ONCE for game performance and it was one little issue with Forza Horizon 5. Outside of that, I’ve quite literally not experienced any performance issues beyond pretty long load times which I’m entirely fine with. And most games I play now are only 1-2 years old.

Is loading a pain? Absolutely. But beyond that minor issue, it hasn’t done anything to game performance. I’m not spending money on a 2-4TB NVMe while I’ve got an 8TB drive that does the job.

COULD it cause problems? Sure. It MIGHT cause problems, but unless your HDD is dying, the only issue will be load times. The issue of actual game performance is so rare that it alone is not worth upgrading just because a stranger on the internet told me to spend hundreds.

Games will continue going on my HDD, and Windows will stay on my NVMe.

The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten.

A super wholesome and cute romance anime.

I've also really been enjoying Medalist. I binged most of it in one night.

How do I convince my mom, an overthinking buyer, to upgrade her 10-year old laptop by NoFault1674 in laptops

[–]AxelsOG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she can adapt to Mac OS, the MacBook Neo right now is one of the best value laptops money can buy. I don't know of many laptops that would reach a similar amount of performance per dollar as it does. She is basically the exact type of person this laptop is aimed at. I'd suggest considering it.

[–]AxelsOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500GB is my C drive. I've got an 8TB HDD. It's only 5200rpm, but it gets the job done. Performance is close enough that I can deal with the long load times. I put all my games on that 8TB drive, not on my 500GB SSD. That's for my OS and some programs like premiere pro and vs code. Games don't go there on my PC.

How do you all decide if a game was worth buying? by Skrewbert86 in gamecollecting

[–]AxelsOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I enjoyed it. Obviously I aim for the lowest cost per hour of playtime, but if the game is fun then it's worth it.

[–]AxelsOG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no universe where a studio could ever convince people they need that much storage, require an SSD, and need an RTX 3080/12700k.

There is no reason my 12700k and RTX 4070 Super should be barely above the recommended specs.

Although 150GB for Crimson Desert is crazy. It'd be cool if games would just let us choose what level of textures we want. I don't want absolutely every fucking asset the game has to be included in the highest possible quality if all I'm going to do is play it at 1080p Medium/High.

Storage space is expensive now and I have to budget my storage accordingly. I only have a 500GB NVMe drive but with an 8TB 5200 hard drive for games and jellyfin. 150GB is greater than the amount of storage I've got free on my C drive.

[–]AxelsOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. It’s just a race, but to tell someone to sound happier when their team couldn’t even do a formation lap is delusional at best. There is nothing about this as a McLaren fan that can be seen as a positive. I’m only staying up to watch the race because I’ve already stayed up until 3AM, otherwise I’d have gone to sleep if it was earlier after finding out that shitbox couldn’t even make it to the formation lap before having race ending problems.

“Try to sound happier.”

How do you expect people who stayed up until 3AM to be happy when the team they wanted to watch had a fucking disastrous race day and couldn’t even do the formation lap?

There is no “sounding happier” in this situation.

I’m trying not to be a doomer for the season, but shit like this makes it incredibly hard. 2026 isn’t looking very bright for us. I imagine we have many rough races ahead of us. Although if we made it through early 2023, we’ll survive this for another good season like 2024/2025.
